The reason is, this handling actually has an impact on the audience in the stands.

Due to mass panic and the impact of tear gas, said Manyala, hundreds of people were crammed out of the stands and became victims.

"The ban on the use of tear gas has been regulated by FIFA and contained in Chapter III concerning Rewards, Article 19 concerning Rewards on the sidelines. It is clearly written; It is forbidden to carry or use firearms or gas controlling the masses," said LaNyalla, in an official statement, Sunday, October 2.

The former chairman of PSSI also considered this to prove the weakness of coordination.

In fact, before the match, there must have been a security coordination meeting (rakor) between the Panpel and the Police.

"I don't know what the reason was that made the police shoot tear gas into the stands, causing mass panic," he said.

Furthermore, LaNyalla said, the main evacuation strategy is to secure players, and that has been done.

"Furthermore, it is just a matter of preventing spectators from destroying or attacking each other between the two camps. While all exits and evacuation routes are opened to vacate the stadium," he said.

The senator from East Java added that the evacuation of the stands by firing tear gas clearly violated FIFA rules. LaNyalla called this event a dark record of national football.

LaNyalla, who expressed her condolences for the incident, asked all national football stakeholders to evaluate so that similar incidents do not happen again.

"Football riots have indeed occurred. But the incident in Kanjuruhan is extraordinary, because the number of victims is very large. A dark record for national football, even the world. I am concerned and regret why it happened," he said.

Previously, the East Java Police Chief, Inspector General Nico Afinta, said that the riots broke out after the East Java Derby match which brought together Arema Malang and Persebaya Surabaya at the Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang Regency, Saturday, October 1.

The riots were triggered by the defeat of the Arema Malang home team.

This incident reportedly killed 130 people, 2 of whom were police officers. It is known that 34 people died in the stadium and others died in the hospital.
